Abstract

From the early foundations of career counselling, the role of self-awareness in making informed career choices has been well recognized. Frank Parsons, widely regarded as the pioneer of career counselling, emphasized the necessity of understanding oneself to make wise career decisions. He proposed that this self-awareness should be systematically connected to job requirements and opportunities through logical reasoning and structured analysis. This approach aims to empower individuals to make well-informed career decisions, improve job performance, enhance job satisfaction, and facilitate seamless employment opportunities. An individual’s temperament could influence career choices. Over time, vocational counselling has increasingly acknowledged the crucial role of personality in shaping career interests, demonstrating a profound connection between the two. Historically, personality traits, along with related aspects such as character, temperament, and moral values, have played a key role in career decision-making. Today, career counselling often includes personality evaluations to assist individuals in managing their career paths. Unlike earlier approaches that viewed personality as solely linked to vocational interests, contemporary career counselling sees personality as a combination of diverse traits influencing key career factors such as job engagement, satisfaction, and performance. While personality does not single-handedly determine career outcomes, it interacts with adaptability and external conditions to shape professional success. Personality assessments play a pivotal role in career planning, enabling self-regulation and enhancing career guidance programs, especially when personalized feedback is provided. These assessments help individuals reflect on, reassess, and refine their career-related self-concepts. Additionally, they align self-perceptions with external evaluations, promoting a balanced and realistic approach to career decision-making. Furthermore, personality traits such as high neuroticism and low conscientiousness can lead to difficulties in making career choices.
